Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:33:57 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1425772#comment-2070435MDS’s take: A.J. Green can make a lot of big plays against that old and slow Steelers defense.

==================================

See steeler fans, everyone sees your defense for what it really is! 8-8 for you, if you’re lucky…

do you also find it amusing that one of these quarterbacks has thrown a td with a separated shoulder, and the other one had an “injured” knee which didn’t cause him to even limp, but kept him not only from playing but also from helping his backup in a PLAYOFF game?

so, “carved up” is averaging 202 yards a game and 1.4 td’s a game? or maybe you were just referring to last year, when he averaged 186 yards a game and .5 td’s. that’s one td COMBINED for two games. carved up…lol

————————————————-

Carving up is Cutler’s 5-1 record against the Lions with a 105.0 passer rating with a 10 – 1 TD/INT ratio. Yes, I looked it up. Any more questions?

Then people follow it up by stating that Eli is that special is amazingly funny. Guy has had one good season and everyone forgets how bad he was his whole career. Even the SB in 07 where he laughably won an MVP Eli salvaged what was a terrible season with a miracle joke of a pass.

When all is said and done, RG III will go down as much better than Eli. 2 rings is great but had little to do with Eli.

It’s a road game, which have been very tough for the Ravens this year. The Texans are going to be angry coming off that devastating loss for the Packers. But even if you ignore that, we could actually still win. IF we weren’t down Lardarius Webb, Terrell Suggs, and Ray Lewis. Those guys are the best 3 players on our defense besides Ed Reed and without them, the Ravens’ chances of winning this Sunday are very low.

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:18:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1425772#comment-2069675I’m picking

Seahawks 17-13(I can’t see a backup left tackle doing a good job against the Seahawks defense)

Take away Megatron, and Stafford must beat teams with Burlson and Pettigrew. Good luck with that.

___________

Good luck with that. Apparently not even the Madden Curse can take away Megatron. Sure as hell, no defense has taken him away.

On pace for 1700+ yds. I’m a Houston fan and I have no doubt who the best WR named Johnson is RIGHT NOW.

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:20:43 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1425772#comment-2069435Everyone is counting the Lions out on this one. The Lions havent played to their potential ONCE this season. The Bears have. We know what that team is about. If the Lions dont show up, the Bears will win. If the Lions wake up offensively, the Bears defense will be questioned, which they should have already since theyve played cupcake offenses anyway.

————————

Cupcake Offenses? The Bears limited Rodgers to ONE TD. That’s the same Rodgers which made the Texans look like a JV team. The Bears lost that game due to SP teams and turnovers, which is rare for them.

And it’s not as if the Colt’s O is inept either. Just ask the Packers.

Take away Megatron, and Stafford must beat teams with Burlson and Pettigrew. Good luck with that.

This is why the NFL has now embraced FF to the point that it has its own show on the network, and streaming stats frequently appear at the bottom of any given game.

Ppl like u amaze me the D didn’t give up 44 to them 2 Tds were return Tds, 1td was a Pettigrew strip fumble took back for a Td, and the last FG they made in OT the replacement refs gave them 12 yds to put them right in FG range dummy!!!! That’s 24 PTS right there since I’m pretty sure u can’t add either!! If u don’t watch Lions games then don’t comment something u don’t know.. Actually our D has been somewhat solid this year considering all the 3 and outs we r getting….And now that we got Delma’s back we look a lot tougher!!

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:11:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1425772#comment-2069321Should be a good game between the Skins and the Gmen. Washington seems to be figuring out what’s working for them both offensively and defensively. But being a Giants fan, especially in the 3 plus years, including the championship years, I am quite used to their consistent inconsistency. Nothing wrong with that, I have actually quite gotten used to it.

And I don’t listen or read into all of these predictions anymore, because as history shows, the Giants seem to win when no one picks them, which again, I am quite fine with (see past NYG vs. NE SBs and last week’s NYG vs. SF game).

But with that being said, I am sorry but I still love the Giants chances. I am hoping for a good close game so it can, at least be, worthwhile to watch.

As far as the picks go the Saints will beat the bucks 38 to 24

Since it’s such a concern why don’t you look up Cutler’s stats against the Lions. He’s absolutely carved up the Lions defense in every single game he’s faced.

This is three weeks in a row that both of you east coast hacks have picked against the Seattle Seahawks, and so far you are 0-4 to show for it. Maybe they will win tonight and maybe they won’t, but its about time you give the Pacific NW its due as an elite defense, (YES, better than the 49ers based on whom we have played) and an offense that gained MAJOR confidence last week.

Seattle 19 San Fran 17.

Oh by the way… Maybe it’s not a ‘Costanza’ week… Maybe you two just can’t see past your biases and see that the NFL landscape is changing and Seattle is on the rise!

—————————-

You could say that the ‘Hawks have major confidence now; or you could say that they might suffer a serious letdown after such a highly emotional win beating a team they weren’t supposed to beat by one point.

Then again, you could say that last week’s loss broke their will and they will fade; or you can say a very good Niners team is going to looking for blood after a very embarrassing loss.

49er 24, Seahawks 13.

Sorry, but the Bears just aren’t that good. They haven’t played a team with a front defensive line like Detroit’s yet this year- ask the Eagles (and their awful o-line, much like Chicago’s) and Mike Vick what that feels like. The Lions D ragdolling Jay a few times is all it will take for Crybaby Cutler to unleash, and then we have the game in the bag.

It’s amazing the analysts mostly pick the Lions losing by more than a TD. Hasn’t been the case yet this year. I’m thinking Lions 27 – 20, and that’s being generous.

————————————————————

LOL! I’m not saying the Bears win this one (I think it could go either way), but I’m not overly concerned by the Lions’ supposed defense. They lost to the TITANS, who have the WORST offensive rankings in the NFL (Offensive DVOA -28.1%). They gave 44 points to them. Whatever you’re smoking, I want it!

Sal Alosi knows how to slow down the Patriots offense, but I don’t think you’ll like it.

PS. People who type all in caps have less to say than those who don’t.

Sure the Giants have plenty of motivation after losing twice last year…but have to believe being a division game both teams have more than enough motivation to bring their “A” game…I think it’ll come down to turnovers and oddly enough Eli has only one passing TD against Washington and more turnovers then against any other NFC teams…should be a good and interesting matchup…
